Harbor Freigth Tree Pruning Tool

I had several trees with dead branches that I wanted to cut.Several times at Harbor Freight I looked at the cordless electric chainsaw which at $60.00 after rebate is a good buy but being cheap I decided not not buy it but to buy the manual tool instead.I am very glad I did. It is very well build made not of cheap stuff but heavy steel and the adjustable pole is also steel and lock with a 1/4 turn or so.I used this tool most of the day yesterday and I am very happy with it.I paid around $12.00 after 25% off for it.One more Harbor Freight gem.

i have the manual one and I needed something better to cut back my Crape Myrtle trees last year. I got the electric one from HF and was surprised at what a good job it did. Can’t beat them for the price and I would recommend both of them.

Here’s my thinking, Harborfreight started off with a reputation of selling low end tools at a low price those days are long gone as today they are selling low quality tools at a higher price, The old saying, don’t put all of your eggs in one basket, Homedepot has several 14” to 16” electric saws to choose from along with their manual pole saws. I’ve come to learn that HF doesn’t always the best prices anymore.

Bert, hence my links, that’s why I posted them to show what I was talking about. HD offers the same size electric saw $4.00 cheaper, as for as the pole saw I’d rather pay $15.00 more knowing I’m going to get something that’s actually going to cut, my past experience with HF on any cutting blades across the board have been a failure, they don’t cut, I’ve never…. to this day had any good luck with anything that I’ve purchased from HF it’s all been junk, I’m now being careful and choosing wisely depending on what I’m going for as HF does have some items you can’t go wrong with, my main issue have been blades and machinery.
